Bold Journey: West with Lewis and Clark

Exactly as promised and delivered with no issues

The story line of this book is engaging. The characters are well written and come to life. However, having been raised in Montana, there is surprisingly little detail or description of the landforms, flora, or fauna which the expedition wpuld have encountered. It felt like the author had never actually been on the Lewis and Clark Trail or experienced the amazing beauty and changing landscape as one travel west toward the Rockies. I wanted a book that described in detail the wonder and beauty the explorers would have experienced.

Read aloud with my 5th grade daughter while she was studying early US settlement in Social Studies and we both enjoyed. I thought the writing was very well done and flowed nicely and in keeping with the language of the times. It wasn't super exciting but did give a good feel for what kinds of challenges early explorers faced.

Great product and seller!

Everything was good, as advertised.

This is a great book for young adults. With plenty of action, this book grabs the reader’s attention at the start and never lets go. The Lewis and Clark expedition is brought to vivid life through the eyes of Hugh McNeal, one of the team’s youngest members. From Fort Massac, Ohio all the way to the Pacific Ocean, this team of bold explorers faces one danger after another. Hungry bears and angry Indians, waterfalls and rapids, lack of food and deadly winters all stand in the way of progress. But a trail full of peril will not stop America’s expansion and these brave adventurers are there to lead the way. I enjoyed every page of this book and highly recommend it.

Interesting and fun living history.

This is a novel of the Lewis and Clark expedition, told in the first person by Pvt. McNeal (the youngest member of the expedition). Your young adventurer experiences the trip, its hazards and beauties, and its incredible difficulties, all told in a clear, memorable story. Outstanding book -- includes a map but no illustrations.For illustrations, try: + "A Picture Biography of Lewis and Clark" by David A.
